Tiefenbrunner's Pinot Noir Turmhof is part of the line that takes its name from Castel Turmhof in Niclara, the company headquarters. The grapes destined for these wines come from slopes that reach 900 metres above sea level. The wines remain on the lees for a few months and refine in wooden barrels, always respecting the sensorial complexity of each grape variety. Pinot Noir comes from 3 plots in different areas: Corona, a hamlet of Cortaccia (800 - 850m asl on calcareous gravel of moraine sediments), between Pinzano and Mazzon (400 - 550m asl on clayey soils of moraine sediments) and Fiè di Sotto ( 750 - 980m above sea level on sand with a medium silt content). Fermentation takes place on the skins in concrete barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation of ten months for 80% in small wood and 20% in large wood. After blending, the wine matures another two months in concrete barrels, before being bottled and refined for five months in the bottle.

PINOT NERO TURMHOF TIEFENBRUNNER: TASTING

Tiefenbrunner's Pinot Nero Turmhof is ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose shows fruit, blackberries, raspberries and cherries in the first place, then evolves into hints of incense, tea and leather. In the mouth, it has the vigour of youth, balanced freshness and fine tannins. Very good with lamb skewers.
